July & August 2010 Retreat BAC One on One festival (14 – 16 July 2010) Forest Fringe; Edinburgh Festival (8 August 2010) Every journey we take has a beginning and an end, often travelled alone, plugged in and zoned out. Allow us to intercept you as you rush from A to B.Give us your hand, slice time in half and slip between the cracks with us. Restore. Rethink. Retreat. A collaboration with Louise Orwin, Rob Jones and Danielle Marshall developed at BAC. The group was mentored by artist Abi Conway. The Retreat was created to explore our individual and shared ideas of retreat – Where. Who. What. Part initiation, part celebration, part gift. Removed from the chaos and noise you will be gently guided blind down a leading path, textures speaking only to the soles of your feet. Lying on your back, your blindness will slowly be torn away to reveal a tent filled with colour, fluttering paper and a forest made of hands. You will feel the heat of my body next to yours, I will feel you breathing. Welcome.

Interactive installation piece in a tree. Made for What the F**k Is Happening Now Festival in Falmer, Brighton. A collaboration with Alice Malseed. ??An alternative village picnic site with hundreds of cutlery pieces falling from the sky. You were invited to eat, or simply watch the light glittering through the leaves onto the cutlery, wondering who was here before you…when you had your last picnic – who you were with, what you ate.
